Field notes
The project says it bases the names, countries, and ages painted on the crosses on the ICE Fall Tracker, cross-checked against reporting from The Guardian, AILA, the ACLU, and Detention Watch Network. Its navigation includes a schedule, participation instructions, action resources, and a gallery; the homepage offers a request path specifically for parishes and schools. The crosses’ reverse carries the Spanish phrase “No Olvidados” (“Not Forgotten”).
